I spent my childhood in Texas, playing around on bikes. First it was BMX, then I shifted to mountain bikes. Then I started racing mountain bikes, followed soon after by road bikes. I spent my college years either riding, eating, sleeping, or working on my degree in Mechanical Engineering.

In 2010, a perfect storm of racing success, graduation, and my father’s surprise diagnosis of Stage-IV lung cancer spurred me on to chase my dream of becoming a professional cyclist.

I’m now in my sixth year of racing for Team Sunweb at the WorldTour level, and I’m having a blast. I’ve had the joy of helping Tom Dumoulin win the 2017 Giro d’Italia, have a silver medal from the 2018 World Championships TTT, and I won the stage 21 TT in the 2019 Giro d’Italia. I’ve raced the Vuelta a Espana, Giro d’Italia, and Tour de France, and now I’m one of the veterans on Team Sunweb with at least two more years on the clock. Let’s race!
